Season 2: #3 Robert Smith

Former fighter Robert Smith is now the general secretary of the British Boxing Board of Control. As a boxer, he sparred the likes of John Mugabi, Dave Green, James Cook and Mark Kaylor while getting in the ring with Lloyd Honeyghan at late notice at the Royal Albert Hall. But he was plagued by injuries and found work as an engineer. From a family of fighters, Smith is now one of the major players on the British landscape and here he talks about his life as a boxer and his time at the helm of the BBB of C in a candid interview with Tris Dixon just days before he was presented with a Lifetime Achievement award from the Boxing Writers' Club.
